Street Shots Photography Podcast Cloudy with a Chance of Grain
"...talking about pictures as though you could tell anybody how to take good ones is nuts. Pictures are given, not taken."
-- Robert Adams
"The work of a photographer is to reveal hidden things."
-- Matt Black
In this episode, Antonio and Ward kick things off by comparing the new iPhone camera to Fujifilm gear, debating whether the latest upgrades really make a difference for serious shooters. From there, Ward talks about his upcoming trip to Japan and how he plans to shoot street photography around Tokyo and beyond, hoping to capture some of the country’s unique character. He also shares his experience using different film stocks like Ilford HP5 and T-Max 100, reflecting on the challenges of exposure and why he’s leaning back toward Ilford for its flexibility and grain structure.
They also dig into recent book finds like Bryan Shutmaat’s "Sons of the Living", which documents the gritty reality of the American Southwest, and Anne Noggle’s intimate black-and-white portraits. Antonio highlights Pau Buscató’s work in "Street O’Clock", and they discuss the challenge of capturing perfect coincidences in street photography. Sprinkled throughout are insights into film photography, reflections on processing styles, and a nod to the influence of FSA photographers.
